As Kenyans in a section of counties die of hunger due to prolonged dry spell, Kenyan MPs want more from the hunger-stricken Kenyans, funds for their lavish lifestyles.
The greedy lawmakers are at it again but this time more vicious leaving no stone unturned by drying up taxpayers pockets.
In their new demands, Kenyan MPs want the taxpayer to fund their stay in five-star hotels while in the city for “legislative business.”
According to the vicious MPs, their counterparts in New Zealand and India get at least 400,000 shillings every time they are within the city.
MPs want the Kenyan taxpayer to give them at 400,000 shillings per day as they stay in five-star hotels during “parliamentary sessions.”
If their demands go through, each MP is likely to pocket at least 1.2 million shillings every week given that MPs meet at least three times a week.
According to our vicious MPs, they must be paid like their counterparts in New Zealand and India. This is not to mention that New Zealand is the least corrupt country, has the best healthcare, the best housing units for their citizens and the best education.
Currently, MPs are given a mortgage of up to 20 million shillings, which they say should be turned into grants so that they should not be compelled to pay back. These buffoons also enjoy several other benefits common Kenyans only dream about knowing too well that they are far-fetched.
Kenya currently has 416 Members of Parliament (349 in the National Assembly and 67 in the Senate) and with each one set to take home at least 1 million shillings a week, the taxpayer will be coughing out at least half a billion shillings per week.
Our hungry and angry MPs want the taxpayer to pay for a “reserved and exclusive eating zone for members and dignitaries’ equipped with the state of the art five-star treatment including chefs, cooks, and expensive cutlery.
The MPs want a special gym set up for them at parliamentary buildings. They want the gym equipped with the latest equipment.
MPs want a gift shop to be constructed for them to be buying gifts for their ‘loved ones’ without mingling with the poor and stinking taxpayer in other shops.
They also want a club, which will be the “Members of Parliament” club with a state of the art underground parking for their fuel guzzlers.
MPs want the taxpayer to employ for them a health specialist in Parliament who will ensure that the honorable members live a healthy life and in a healthy environment. They want the establishment of a special committee that will be in charge of ensuring that areas around Parliament are clean and well maintained.
There is no doubt corruption in Kenya is far from over, the rich will continue to benefit at the expense of the common Mwanainchi.
